Let me guess, they claim you're "Exempt".
I've been documenting since the day they made me sign a form that said I was hourly exempt.
Just think of all of the "Honey do" and "Daddy Do" lists you can tackle on your "staycation"
Sad you can’t take the vacation you want but very understandable. I’d call it a smart move by you and the wife
I compromised with my wife this year on travel. I got out of going to Europe since she found out she's going to need 2 more dental implants, but I still needed to take her somewhere. I gave in and we're going to San Diego. We'll see her sister and our nieces. The SIL and her husband have mellowed out and are not that bad to be around now. My nieces are great, but I did make sure we spend one full day at the San Diego zoo. I've been there twice. Once in the 1970's and once with Nicki in the late 1980's.
Yes, using pre-cooked burgers from the day before to make their Chili might be a good idea, but the thought of pre-cooked burgers is pretty revolting to me to begin with!
You don’t think the guessers moved to the Energy Department from Weather? Thats the only department that can be so wrong and keep their jobs. I figured they gave the wrong info out after switching departments…Good Morning All. Partly cloudy and a cool 55° this morning. Back into the 80's today, 90's later in the week. Won't be this cool again until September! The real rain finally showed up yesterday around mid-afternoon. Never heavy, but steady thunderstorms until around 9 last night. There is 1.35" in the rain gauge this morning. Yard, trees and garden appreciated it.
Piddled around the house most of the day after church. Wife decided that she wanted Chicken Enchiladas for supper and she made them herself. Claims that I just don't do it right, even though I use the exact recipe that she taught me! So I stayed out of the way.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I mostly ran more trains. While I am not in a modeling funk or anything like that, I just haven't decided what's next to work on. I did take a few more structures off the layout and over to the bench for deep cleaning, I've done around 18 out of 60 so far from this section. I haven't improved any of the detailing on any of them yet. Remember that I got off to a late start on this section because 2.5 weeks went by before I remembered that the new quarter was upon us and I was quite preoccupied with building the new neighborhood! Many of the current structures got major overhauls back in early 2024, so it is not necessary.

Tom O - Not sure if I want to touch your morning post! Paragraphs 1 & 6 seem innocuous enough though!
Everyone have a great Monday.
Our 50th is 9/18 and the plan was Maui. I’ve not told Terry yet as our ideas are different. She wants Texas and we can also follow the Badger Volleyball team as they play in both Austin and College Station. We will do that and the son got us tickets to the Austin matches via his contacts at UT. The son and g/f will be in Australia so that has no bearing on our trip there.
I noticed this morning after dropping my daughter off at school that gas here has spiked to $4.99 and diesel is now over $6.29 a gallon.
Sometimes those are the best vacations.
I agree with that premise. As you probably have noticed from past posts, I have a great disdain for the NWS here. But if I commented at the time of my post, I may have run afoul of the precarious political line.
And I was shocked last week when gas in Texas slipped over the $4 mark to $4.29/gal.
